Recovery is not sobriety.
Picture this: a successful career in executive management, yet a hidden struggle with alcoholism. In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Hour, host Lori Windfeldt sits down with Mischelle Moyer for a brutally honest conversation about addiction and the long road to recovery. Mischelle's story is a rollercoaster of intergenerational trauma, guilt, and shame. She opens up about her battles with sexual abuse, suicide in her family, and food issues that led her down a dark path of alcoholism.
Her drinking was so severe it damaged her pancreas, leaving her dependent on an insulin pump. Mischelle describes herself as a 'low-bottom drunk,' having faced six DUIs, three prison terms, twelve ICU stays, and two comas. Despite these harrowing experiences, she kept coming back to try sobriety. Now, after 17 years of relapses, she celebrates three years of sobriety for the first time. This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's about resilience and the power of never giving up.
Mischelle shares how she navigated the complexities of addiction and recovery, emphasizing the importance of relationships, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. Her story is a testament to the fact that recovery is possible, no matter how deep the struggle. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers raw insights and a glimmer of hope.
